Dathlu Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Saint David’s Day Celebration

Cawsom hwyl ddydd Iau diwethaf wrth i ni gasglu ynghyd i ddathlu Diwrnod Dewi Sant. Cawsom wledd wirioneddol gyda bwydydd traddodiadol Cymreig wedi’u golchi i lawr gyda photiau o de. Roedd ein bwydlen yn cynnwys bara brith, teisennau Cymreig, crempog,  a tart cenhinen a madarch a Rarebitt Cymru.
Fe wnaethon ni ddysgu am Dewi Sant a sut y daeth cenhinen yn arwyddlun Cymru. Wrth i ni ddod i ben, fe wnaethom ganu holl adnodau’r Anthem Genedlaethol.

We had fun last Thursday as we gathered together to celebrate Saintt David’s Day. We had a veritable feast with traditional Welsh foods washed down with pots of tea. Our menu consisted of bara brith, Welsh cakes, pancakes, leek and mushroom tarts and Welsh Rarebitt.
We learnt about Saint David and how the leek became the emblem of Wales. As a rousing finale we sang all the verses of the National Anthem.
